THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS

The new year is a good time to roll back the clock and take stock of the past. Usually, we limit that backward glance to the past year, but someone has cobbled together the past century, so in case you missed itI suggest you watch this eleven minute film. That way you won't feel stupid when someone brings up the Yalta Conference, say, at the water cooler. What a century.
